Q. What kind of an audience watches a show like 'Naagin'?
A. A lot of rural audience. But everyday, I hear from city people that they are tripping on 'Naagin'. You never know what is going to work when you make a show. I make a 'Pyaar Ko Ho Jaane Do' about two people from different countries falling in love; despite an interesting concept with real people, it doesn't work. Then I make 'Naagin', which is an OTT, shamelessly in-your-face show that proudly deals with Indian folklore and it works! I personally believe that we are no one to decide what the audience wants to lap up at any point of time.
Do you think the Indian audience is not ready for progressive shows?
A. Yes, I can openly say that they are not ready for progressive shows. I have tried it with 'Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh' and I can't even tell you the research that went into it; I really wanted to cry. They just don't want to see a married woman move on even if her husband has made her life miserable.
Q. Will the content on television ever change?
A. Yes, I believe television will change, but it can only happen when the audience changes.
hate to admit this but yepp she is absolutely right about indian Tv😆..
